Double Fortune!

G and I took a short break from preparing for Oscar Dinner 2008 by spending the evening at the Sheraton Centre, Toronto. While not our favourite hotel in the City, by any stretch, it was a great deal on the Family Day long weekend, and was my Valentine’s Day prezzie! Woohoo!

As I had a late afternoon performance at the Four Season’s Centre, the stay here was ideal as the Sheraton is – literally – a 30 second walk to the stage door entrance for the Four Season’s.

After the show, I met G up in the Club Lounge where we enjoyed the view, the drinks, and the food … but certainly not the crowds! It was a zoo at the Sheraton. We had a late dinner in an old Chinatown establishment, Hong Shing Chinese, where I ended up with two fortunes! Doubly lucky me!

This morning we headed down for an early morning swim in the indoor-outdoor pool (tons of fun) before heading home.

It was a wonderfully relaxing Saturday! Thanks G!
